3. unwanted children

is another result of criminalizing abortion. Those who cannot access abortion because of lack of money are not prepared to assume the financial responsibilities of having a child. It is nonsense to believe a woman will automatically turn the child over to adoption services. Hormones after birth help to create a bond that makes that even more difficult.

Our society is already loaded with the result of having children without the commitment and money to raise the child properly. There are children with attachment disorders, anger issues, alienation problems etc. As adults some can be found in our prisons, halfway houses, homeless encampments etc.

Instead of creating more unwanted children, maybe we should be stressing what it takes to raise a child with the best chance of succeeding in life - for their own happiness as well as the good of society.
Anti-abortion people can focus their efforts to fixing the sad lives of unwanted children.
